From beginning to end, Jiang Yu didn't say a word. He had heard about the place of death mentioned by Jia Rong since he was a child. He once heard the elders of the tribe say that there may be many people who died in the vast desert. He didn't know.
Even if I dare to persuade you, I don't want Jia Rong to lead his army into that area.
Zhang Zhi scratched his head and said: "If this doesn't work, we will have to rush in. As long as we can return to Jincheng, we don't have to worry about anything. We will definitely beat these bastards to death."
"Zhang Zhi, have you contacted Jincheng?" Jia Rong asked.
Zhang Zhi blushed and said: "Not yet, the scouts sent out have not returned."
Jia Rong stared at the map for a long time, then stood up slowly and said: "Let's retreat in this direction." The direction Jia Rong pointed at seemed to be the death place mentioned by a few people just now.
Jiang Yu's expression changed and he advised: "No, General. As long as we hold back the enemy's pace, the General can return to Jincheng first. There is no need to take such a big risk. General, I have heard from the elders of the clan that this desert
It is a dangerous place, full of dangers, and you will die if you are not careful."
Originally, Jiang Yu wanted to say that no one could escape, but he never said it.
Jia Rong smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think I am a man who abandoned his brother and divorced his wife? Even if we die, we will die together."
Jiang Yu and Zhang Zhi felt their blood surge. The weight of Jia Rong's words was so heavy that they would need their whole lives to repay it. Therefore, when Jia Rong encountered danger in the future, the two of them obeyed Jia Rong's orders.
No questioning, no frown even in times of crisis.
Jia Rong waved his hand, stopping Zhang Zhi and Jiang Yu's tendency to persuade him again, and said calmly: "This matter has been decided, no need to say anything more. I asked the brothers below to bring water and fill everything that can hold water.
If you can enter the desert, you still need to pass through this place." Jia Rong's hand stayed on Pu Ya.
Jiang Yu accepted the promise with a bitter look on his face. Zhang Zhi also stared at the map closely. It was the first time he came into contact with this kind of thing. He was very curious, especially on the small map, he could find Jincheng Wuwei and the distant Bingzhou.
county.
The "Geng" flag in the mouth of the scout was getting closer and closer to Jia Rong and his party. They stopped only five miles away from Jia Rong's army and set up camp in an orderly manner. They placed densely packed enemy horses on the road that was not very wide. It was unbearable.
Look directly.
In fact, the place where they camped was the only way for Jia Rong and others to return to Jincheng.
After Jia Rong heard the news brought back by the scouts, he became more determined to enter the desert with his entire army. Now they are surrounded on three sides, and all enemy forces will complete the encirclement within two hours. If they don't leave now, they will wait until the enemy forces complete the encirclement.
It's too late to encircle them, and even if they want to leave by then, there's nothing they can do.
After seeing this team of about 1,500 people with his own eyes, Jia Rong immediately ordered the entire army to retreat towards the desert. This army under the "Geng" flag looked like a well-trained people.
The weapons of the soldiers were not inferior to those of the ordinary Xiliang soldiers. It would not be a problem to entangle the more than 500 people of his own. After Ma Teng inquired, he found that the enemy general was Geng Yan, the magistrate of Puyi County, which is also known as Puyi County.
On the border of Wuwei, to the east is the vast Gobi Desert. Under the difficult living conditions, the endurance of the soldiers is far beyond that of ordinary people, and the quality of the soldiers is naturally much higher.
After hearing Ma Teng's report, Jia Rong's eyes lit up. Geng Yan was the magistrate of Puyi County. As a result, all the soldiers in Puyi County would be mobilized.
Seeing Jia Rong leading his army to leave, Geng Yan had no intention of stopping him. In his opinion, Jia Rong was already a prey in the encirclement, and it was impossible to escape no matter what. All he had to do was to hold on to the final route to Jincheng.
road.
What Cheng Qiu and Geng Yan didn't expect was that Jia Rong led the cavalry to run northeast, and happened to pass by the army led by Cheng Qiu.
Frightened, Cheng Qiu immediately led his soldiers to follow Jia Rong closely. As long as Jia Rong did not leave Wuwei County, Jia Rong would be a turtle in the urn.
However, Jia Rong has been famous in Liangzhou for a long time. It is rumored that he is a famous general of the Han Dynasty and should not be underestimated. Rumors about Jia Rong's past achievements have spread throughout the world.
After these two days of continuous fleeing and fighting, the number of soldiers under his command has been reduced to 500. Some seriously injured soldiers died on the battlefield. Although it reduced the burden on the army, it made Jia Rong feel even more guilty about this matter.
, the deaths of these soldiers were completely avoidable, just because of a moment of oversight.
Jia Rongjun, who wanted to escape, was not something Cheng Qiu's infantry could catch up with. All the complicated items were abandoned, the burden on the cavalry was greatly reduced, the wounded of the sick were almost healed, and the marching speed became faster, which made the complacent soldiers
Cheng Qiu led his army to pursue him.
All the soldiers in Puyi County were taken away by Geng Yan. No one thought that Jia Rong would change the marching route and attack Puyi directly.
Puyi is said to be a county town, but in fact it is not. It is backed by a desert and has a harsh climate. Few people are willing to settle here. What is worthy of the people's nostalgia is that it has not been affected by the war and the people can have a stable life.
When Jia Rong led the army to arrive, the gates of Pu'a County were wide open, and people were walking between the gates. Pu was not prepared for the intrusion into the interior. When Jia Rong led the army to rush into Pu'a County, he was guarding the city gate.
Only then did the soldiers react.
Jia Rong immediately ordered the city gates to be closed tightly. Groups of cavalry appeared on the narrow streets of Puyi County to comfort the frightened people, but did not cause any turmoil. Ordinary people continued to live as before. Different situations
They are not allowed to leave the city gate.
What the people care about is not the ruler, as long as their normal life is not disrupted and they can survive.
The soldiers of the county government wisely chose to surrender. In order to claim credit, the soldiers diligently took Jia Rong and others to the warehouse in Puyi County.
Puyi County is surrounded by the Great Wall on both sides. The towering Great Wall sandwiched Puyi County in the middle. Puyi County is said to be a county, but in fact it is similar to Guansai, except that it is backed by the desert and has no enemy invasion. It has no strategic significance like Yanmen Pass and Yumen Pass.
Wait until the fortress is high.
After instructing Jiang Yu, Ma Teng and others to complete the supply work, Jia Rong led Zhang Zhi to the Great Wall. Even though future generations had seen the Great Wall, Jia Rong could not help but marvel at this huge project again. It was different from the Great Wall seen by later generations. This was the original
Ecological.
The city wall, which is five to six meters wide and seven or eight meters high, makes Jia Rong's blood boil.
With such a fortress, even if Cheng Qiu led 10,000 soldiers, what would happen? He could only look at the city wall and sigh.
However, Pu'a County's grain reserves do not allow Jia Rong to station troops here. The monthly supplies of grain and grass in the barren Pu'a County are provided by the Prefecture Mufu. According to soldiers in the city, the Prefecture Mu's Office delivers grain and grass every three months.
, and when Geng Yan led the army away, he took away 7788 of the food and grass in the city, making Jia Rong's idea of defending Puyi come to nothing.
In fact, Jia Rong was very depressed. What was the use of Geng Yan leading his troops to station in this inhospitable place? There were no enemies from outside and no worries of chaos inside. It was meaningless.
Jia Rong had just occupied Puyi for half a day. Smoke and dust were flying outside the city of Puyi, and Cheng Qiu arrived with his army.
Seeing Jia Rong appearing at the top of the city, Cheng Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Jia Rong was in Puya, he immediately ordered the soldiers to camp outside the city. The soldiers under Cheng Qiu also breathed a sigh of relief.
The pursuit for days has exhausted them.
Jia Rong came forward just to comfort the troops outside the city. Now that things have happened, Jia Rong does not want these brothers who are following him to suffer any more losses.
There is no limit to the number of people. The 10,000 troops led by Cheng Qiu are particularly spectacular when viewed from Jia Rong's perspective, giving people the feeling of being immersed in a vast ocean of enemies. However, with the Great Wall as a backing, Jia Rong feels at ease like never before.
"Zhang Zhi, lead the soldiers to seal the city gate completely. No one is allowed to go out without my order. If there is any abnormal movement, kill it first and then report it!" Puyi has always been Geng Yan's lair, and there must be many people loyal to him in the city. If there is a
The inside should be combined with the outside, that kind of loss is something Jia Rong doesn't want to see.
The next day, Cheng Qiujun still had no intention of attacking Puyi after making rice. He just stationed outside Puyi City.
Jia Rong naturally knew what they were up to. Cheng Qiu was sure that Jia Rong would not lead his army into the desert, and Geng Yan also knew that there was not much food and grass in the city. As long as they surrounded the city, Jia Rong's army would collapse within ten days without a fight.
Even the cavalry were exhausted after running for a long time. Cheng Qiu only besieged but not attacked, which was what Jia Rong was most happy to see. Only the patrolling soldiers were left, and most of the soldiers went to have a good rest.
After three days of rest, the soldiers had recovered from fatigue.
Jia Rong collected enough water bags and dry food, mainly dried meat, all of which were purchased by the people in the city. Anyway, what Jia Rong lacked most was money. If there was money to be made, the people would be happy to cooperate with Jia Rongjun.
The transactions went back and forth, and the people saw that this army was not as domineering as the soldiers they had seen before, so they took out the things they had hurriedly moved back to their homes again.
These cavalry spend a lot of money and never bargain when buying things. They are all rich. In the past few days in the city, the market in the city has become much more prosperous than before, and both parties are very happy.
Jia Rong came alone to the room where Wei Fu lived. After a few days of rest, Wei Fu's face became much better and she felt more energetic. The relationship between the two heated up during their escape.
A woman who can risk her life for herself, Jia Rongruo still doesn't understand, is just a piece of wood, and Wei Fu is also a rare woman in the world, both in appearance and temperament, she is very good, in future generations, she will definitely be ranked among the followers.
A few streets away, Jia Rong, a poor and unknown boy, could win Wei Fu's favor, and he was so happy that he couldn't sleep from ear to ear.
"Fu'er, how are you feeling?" Jia Rong said softly, his voice rare and gentle.
Wei Fu bit her red lips and said, "Brother, it's nothing serious. I can already get out of bed and walk."
Wei Fu had no idea how tempting Jia Rong was to bite her lip.
Jia Rong felt that his heart was beating fast and his blood was rising, which was more exciting than hearing the war drums on the battlefield.
He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said, "That's good, that's good."
